What's new in PSMS
In September 2026 PSMS moved to a new, rebuilt version at app.psms.ph. All your offices, users, projects, contracts and records were carried over, and your username and password are unchanged.
Where things are now
| You used to… | Now |
|---|---|
| Open psms.ph | Open app.psms.ph (psms.ph forwards there) |
| Go to Contracts → a year → a contract | Contracts: one list with status chips, filters and search |
| Use the "Links" menu on a contract (Physical Schedule, Suspension/Resumption, …) | Tabs on the contract page |
| Open a separate page to add a record | Click the button; a dialog opens on the same page |
| Go to Settings for users and lists | Office (users, activity, settings) and Setup (lists) in the sidebar |
| Find things by browsing | Press Ctrl K / ⌘ K to search |
Role names
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| Admin | Account Holder |
| Project Inspector | Project Inspector |
| Accounting Officer / Accounting Personnel | Financial Encoder |
| Engineering Personnel | Engineering Personnel: now has the same rights as Project Inspector, except adding contract documents |
| Viewer | Viewer: now strictly read-only |
New
- Several sites per contract: give a contract one or more work sites, each with a description, under Sites on its page. Each site shows on the maps. A contract's existing map pin became a site called Work site; rename it to describe the place.
- Regional accounts: a regional office can follow several offices' contracts in one place, view only, once each office approves it under Settings.
- Import the schedule from Excel: fill in an Excel sheet (or paste two columns) to enter a contract's whole planned S-curve at once.
- Zoom the S-curve: zoom in on a period of a contract's S-curve and drag to move along it.
- Contract documents: keep the notice to proceed, orders, billings, reports and certificates on the contract's Documents tab, and attach files to a variation order, time extension or suspension.
- Site photos: add photos to a contract or an accomplishment entry, and set the map pin from where a photo was taken.
- Weekly digest: a Monday email to Account Holders with the contracts that need attention.
- Refreshed forum: a cleaner layout, like and reply counts on each post, and old posts from the previous PSMS now show as plain text instead of raw formatting codes.
- Renewal reminders: Account Holders and the office email get an email a week and a day before the subscription is due.
- Map: see every contract on a map, colored by status, and pin each contract's work site.
- Sign in with an email link: no password needed; PSMS emails you a one-time link.
- Forgot password: reset your own password by email from the sign-in page; no need to ask your Account Holder.
- Office location and contact details: every office now records its address, phone, email and contact person. Account Holders of existing offices are asked to fill them in once.
- Custom reports: build and save your own contract and project reports with your choice of columns, filters, grouping and chart, and export them to Excel or PDF.
- A redesigned dashboard with status breakdown, overall S-curve and the contracts that need attention.
- Team activity calendars and a per-person activity page.
- Time extensions now count toward the contract time and have their own expiry date.
- Contracts can be deleted (this used to require a written request) and contractors can be edited (the old version didn't allow it).
- The PPA report now has an Excel download.
- Every report works as of any date, and every table report can be downloaded as Excel.
Fixed
- One way of calculating expiry dates. The old version used slightly different formulas on different pages, so expiry dates could differ by a day. See How the numbers are calculated.
- Suspensions left open after a contract was completed no longer keep extending its dates.
- Contracts shared by several projects are no longer counted in full in every project.
- The overall S-curve now adds contracts together correctly.
- Permissions are now enforced everywhere, and each office's reports and downloads are private to it.
